Colorado § 6-1-301

• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 06: Consumer
• Art.: Colorado Consumer Protection Act

Text

The general assembly hereby finds,
determines, and declares that the use of telephones for commercial solicitation is
rapidly increasing; that this form of communication offers unique benefits, but
entails special risks and poses the potential for abuse; that the general assembly
finds that the widespread practice of fraudulent and deceptive commercial
telephone solicitation has caused substantial financial losses to thousands of
consumers, and, particularly, elderly, homebound, and otherwise vulnerable
consumers, and is a matter vitally affecting the public interest; and, therefore, that
the general welfare of the public and the protection of the integrity of the
telemarketing industry requires statutory regulation of the commercial use of
telephones.
